There is a table inside the pdf, and when i use pdftotext, the text is read but unsorted. (it reads all the cells of column 1, then all cells of column 2, etc). And i cannot manage to sort it, because doesn't even put a CR (carriage return) character after each row. So after pdftotext I only see a very large string without CR. If I convert the file using adobe acrobat (file > save as > txt) it converts ok. I read in the french forum (with google translate) about "abby pdf transformer". It's a dll that I can use in windev, but it cost 1600 $. Thanks.30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/36217-read-text-from-pdf/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)peterwalllpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/36217-read-text-from-pdf-54628/read.awp24 Oct 2015 17:43:14 ZI think you should have a fine OCR component to read text from pdf and check some free trial packages of some 3rd party pdf conv…https://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/36217-read-text-from-pdf-54628/read.awphttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/36217-read-text-from-pdf-54628/read.awpRead text from pdf.
